If there’s one thing your legal advisor must be is Authentic. Kinda is that and she is resourceful. My consultation was a discovery session to help chart the course to help reposition and avoid a situation of a revoked visa.

In 1981 at the age of 13, I arrived in the US as a refugee and received my green card shortly thereafter. In my youth, I committed multiple offenses, one of which was serious enough to be considered an "aggravated felony" for immigration purposes. However, despite of my record, I still wanted to become a citizen so that I could travel internationally without having to worry if I would clear immigration and customs upon returning. I also knew that my case would be complex and that I needed a good and experienced attorney to help me. My search started in 2010 (by this time I have been living as a green card holder for almost 30 years). I contacted multiple highly rated immigration attorneys listed on avvo.com and felt the most comfortable and confident with Mr. Chavez. The process began with the office conducting a comprehensive review of my background and obtaining certified copies of court records. The work was impressive as they did not miss anything, and I know for certain that I could have never done this myself. After carefully reviewing my record, Mr. Chavez recommended that, for now, I should not apply for citizenship because the risk was too high that USCIS could start removal proceeding against me. His strategy was for me to continue to follow the law, volunteer my time, and wait until the law is more favorable to my case before applying. I was devastated with this news because to me it meant to forget about ever becoming a citizen and this was the end of the road. However, I didn't give up and neither did Mr. Chavez. I set a reminder and send an email to Mr. Chavez every few months just to check if there are any changes to the law that would benefit me. Then six years later (2016), Mr. Chavez and Caitlin Twyman contacted me to let me know that there is a pending case with the Supreme Court that could help (or hurt) me, depending on the decision. (The case is Mathis v. United States: http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/mathis-v-united-states/). After determining that Mathis v. United States helps my situation, Mr. Chavez recommended that I apply. With renewed confidence (on my part), and with the help of the office, we submitted my N-400 application in December 2016. On 03/22/2018, I had my interview with USCIS. During the interview, I was accompanied by Mr. Mark Lee (one of the excellent attorneys at the office). After the interview, the Officer stated that because my case was complicated, he needed more time to review (this usually means a long delay). However, Mr. Lee requested that the Officer review my while we were there so that we could answer any questions he may have. To my surprise, the Officer agreed and after reviewing my file, he verbally told us that he would recommend "approval" for my application. However, his decision was not final and pending a review/approval by his supervisor (this meant that it could be denied even though he wanted to approve). I believed what Mr. Lee did expedited the process by at least a few months and greatly helped my case. Then on 03/30/2018, I received a phone call from the Officer (who was great) informing me that my case has received final approval. Wooohooo, this was one of the best news I have received in a long time!!!! After taking the Oath and receiving my certificate of naturalization on 04/17/2018, I feel as if I have been reborn, and I am forever grateful for the work done by Mr. Chavez, Mr. Lee, Ms. Twyman, Ariel, Beatriz and the support staff. So if you need help with any immigration matter, don’t hesitate to contact the office of Mr. Chavez and Valko.

I'd like to Thank the Office of Chavez and Valko for their hard work. I was very pleased with their extensive preparation for my case. They are very professional and courteous. For a little over 9 years, I had consulted with other immigration forms, and non of them could help me. They always gave me the "run-around" and uncertainty for my case. Being that another firm had lost all of our documents for immigration, With Chavez and Valko hard work, they were able to "find" copies of my documetns dating back to 1994! Also, during the interview, the officer was surprised that Chavez and Valko were able to get copies o fhtese documents. The officer also congratulated Chavez and Valko for this accomplishment. He said, " I had never seen such preparation for a case." This speaks alot of Chavez and Valko's professionalism, and integrity. Thank You Again for Your Hard Work, Support, and Dedication. Muchisimas Gracias al equipo de Chavez&Valko. Despues de 9 años de consultr con otros abogados, Chavez&Valko encontraron la solucion para mi caso. Los abogados (desde McAllen, TX, Chicago, IL, incluso Washington, PA) solo me dejaban con la insertidumbre de mi caso. Jamas me dieron ningun animo de que me caso se fuera a resolver. Los abogados de Chavez&Valko pudieron encontrar copias de mis documentos del 1994. Asi es que pude realizar mi caso. En la entrevista con imigracion, el mismo oficial hasta se sorprendio que Chavez&Valko pudieron encontrar estos documentos. Recuerdo que el oficial felicito a nuestro abogado por su excelente preaparation de nuestro caso incluso menciono, "jamas habia visto un caso tan bien preparado y organizado.". Eso habla bastante de la integridad de Chavez&Valko. Y fue asi, con la certeza de Chavez&Valko pudde resolver mi caso. Muchisimas Gracias!

I was very pleased working with Oresta on our IR1 immigration visa for my husband. The consultation we first had answered our many questions, and her explanations showed her extensive knowledge in the field. Every step we took was very well explained and we took things one step at a time, making the process less stressful and not as intimidating. She was always available to make a call last minute and messaged back in a timely manner, despite our time zone difference with us being overseas. I couldn't have done it without her! Her advice and realistic answers were refreshing and helped us set a realistic expectation for the time line and approval. Her friendly attitude helped set our minds at ease, she was very easy to work with. It was nice not to be worried about making mistakes since everything was going through an attorney. Her pricing was also very fair. Highly recommend hiring Oresta as your immigration attorney!

I engaged Dawn for the third time. This time to supervise my naturalization process. I would not have hired anyone but her. I know her and I trust her based on all the work she did for me over the last 4 years. She successfully helped me file the I-130, I-485, I-102, I-765 I-751 and finally my N400. All were approved on schedule or sooner with no RFE. On the day of my N400 interview she helped me correct some of the information USCIS had misfiled which relieved quite a bit of stress off of me. Dawn even joined me for my oath ceremony. If that's not going above and beyond the call of duty for an attorney, I don't know what is. I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn both as a person and a skillful immigration attorney. Thank you Dawn, for everything, for changing my life for the better.

My application for naturalization was denied as USCIS wanted proof that i traffic citation i had over 8 years back was paid. Dawn was thorough in her consultation and guidance and helped in applying for hearing. After applying for the hearing with all possible documentation, which Dawn guided well USCIS realized that there was no point in calling for the hearing and directly sent notice for oath ceremony. Dawn was always available over email and phone and also confirmed her attendance in case there was a hearing which some of the other lawyers were not ready to confirm

When we began the immigration process we were a bit overwhelmed by the many steps and procedures involved. As a result we sought legal advice and began a lawyer search that led us to Jon. We needed someone with a thorough understanding of immigration law, and we hoped for someone passionate about helping people. We found both in Jon and his law firm. He walked us through each step of the process and touched base with us periodically to answer any questions or concerns we had. He was was also always available to offer reassurance when we wondered what might be happening. In the end, everything happened just a Jon assured us it would. Today we received the green card and we’re on our way to citizenship in three years. Jon is a unique blend of honesty, character and a top notch legal skill who genuinely cares for clients.

Douglas Carman is simply outstanding! He immediately instilled confidence during our initial consultation for my J1 hardship waiver. He made the process as seamless as I could have hoped for. He was exceptionally thorough, knowledgeable, and efficient. He was consistently available and adhered to his stated timelines. We successfully gathered all necessary documentation and submitted it promptly. While awaiting my hardship waiver approval, he provided invaluable guidance on pursuing an O-1 visa, which I successfully obtained. My hardship waiver was approved, and he then represented me for my green card permanent resident application, which has just been approved. He has been exceptional throughout this entire process, and I wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation. If you're in search of an immigration attorney, look no further - Douglas Carman is the one you need!

I applied H1B this year and my company lawyer filed the application. It is selected in the lottery, but I received an RFE in July. The RFE reason is special occupation and beneficial qualification. I worked with my company's lawyer for the first two months, but is not satisfied with their work. My friend recommends Calvin to me and he is great. He quickly started to work on my case and outlined a few key points for the RFE response. We then started to prepare the material and got most material prepared within 10 days. Calvin is very patient and answers all my questions immediately. Although I am located in Seattle area, I am always able to communicate with him by email or phone calls. The RFE is finally approved last week. I would strongly recommend Calvin to anyone who is applying for H1B or responding to H1B RFE. I may also consult or hire him for future immigration questions/cases.

Googling all the reviews online I chose Calvin, who is very experienced and professional, and it turned out to be the perfectly right choice. He cared about my case and brought out a lot of helpful suggestions. Everybody experienced this know how frustrating, his timely replies, confidence are really comforting.

Mr. Paul Parsons is an excellent attorney, extremely professional, very knowledgeable, really cares about his clients and attaining a positive outcome for his clients. Me and my husband highly recommend Mr. Parsons for any immigration matter one can have. We used Mr. Parsons’s services to handle my immigration case for the Permanent Residency (Green Card) application, Removal conditions from the GC and obtaining US citizenship via naturalization. From the very first appointment, Mr. Parsons was very professional and helpful in navigating us. He conducted a very thorough interview to gather the necessary information from us, explained all of the forms, walked us through the application process and what we could expect, gave a detailed list of the documents and information that we needed to gather, and handled everything in a way that made the process understandable, as easy as possible for us, and in a manner that showed he truly cared about us and attaining the positive outcome we sought. Throughout the process, Mr. Parsons and his office manager Norma stayed in constant contact with us, sent reminders of upcoming dates and procedures, appointments and basically handled everything for us. At the end of my immigration journey, I couldn’t be happier to hold my Naturalization certificate which has finally realized my dream of being a US citizen. In conclusion, we are highly satisfied, pleased, and happy with the level of service provided and way that Mr. Parsons handled our case. Paul Parsons, in my opinion, is the best immigration attorney and if you need one, I strongly recommend Mr. Parsons and his team.

To describe what Miriam and the Riedmiller Immigration Law Firm has done for me is a pleasure. Miriam Riedmiller is a knowledgeable, attentive lawyer who helped me out at every step of the way with my fiancée visa. I needed a K1 and K2 visa for my fiancée and the children as well as the I-129F. Due to the excellent preparation that Miriam performed we were able to get a quick turnaround and have the I-129F approved in less than 3 months. Miriam went above and beyond in doing everything in her power to make sure my case reached early completion. When I first looked up Miriam Riedmiller, I was instantly impressed with her 25 years of experience and how she was the lawyer that other lawyers come to for advice. I also noticed she was a Filipino American which was very helpful because my fiancée was from the Philippines. I needed a person like Miriam on my team who understood the law, the cultural, and the personal issues that are involved with immigration. After working with her for a year and a half I got all that and more. There were times when things were challenging from the government side, such as technical issues with the website. When my case ran into difficulties, Miriam stayed up late and spent extra hours with me to make sure the issues was resolved. Miriam was also helpful to my fiancée and sensitive to the cultural differences we experienced during the process. I would recommend Miriam and Riedmiller Law Firm for any immigration needs.

Miriam B. Riedmiller is an experienced and dedicated U.S. Immigration attorney who is very passionate about her area of practice. When I least expected it I met “the one” in France. A dear friend of mine recommended Miriam who fortunately had the time to handle our case. As is the case with most immigration cases, we hit a couple bumps along the way and each time Ms. Riedmiller’s ingenuity and creativity, not only resolved the issue, moved our case along even further. In our case Miriam demonstrated the ability to turn a Request for Information into an opportunity! I was fortunate to have our case processed in 2015 before the current craziness. Now, more than ever, it is critical to have competent attorney representation -- Homeland Security and State Department priorities can be changed at anytime and every U.S. Embassy seems to have its own set of rules making every immigration case one of a kind. Ms. Reidmiller is not the least expensive attorney performing this type of work but I cannot be more pleased with the results. With her representation, I was able to get a K1 Visa application approved in just over three months and the fiancé Visa four months later. We are happily married and living in the U.S. We still have one more hurdle to cross next year and will be retaining Miriam to represent us.

I hired them on March 6, and on June 7, I had already attended my naturalization interview and taken the oath. I received my Certificate of Naturalization the same day! The firm prepared the documents so professionally that I was able to complete the process in just three months. Paralegal Irina curated my case, consistently answering my emails and providing timely updates. Attorney Viktoria accompanied me to my interview, making me feel confident and protected. Initially, I was worried about the firm's hourly billing system. However, Bloomberg Law Firm provided detailed invoices and reports, showing all expenses and time spent on my case. In the end, the cost of their services was very affordable, especially considering that an attorney was present for my interview!

This review is long overdue. I was desperately looking for information about possibly getting an LPR for my son who is born outside the US. I was outside the US at the time, so I posted my questions on avvo and ither legal free forum but only few responded with real answer, most of the lawyers basically said they can’t answered now but to make appointment with them which mean money first. But Mr. Maina kindly answered most of my questions and scheduled a free conference call with me & my husband to answer more questions that we had. He was straightforward and clear on the instructions of what we had to do prior coming to the US and when we made it to the US he even gave us consultation in his office & told us the form to filed and the next step to do without paying anything. He told us his legal fees if he were to filed our applications but he said this was something we could do ourselves and so we did. We’re grateful to find him. Thanks Mr. Maina

First of all, praise the Lord for people like Samuel! I've been desperately looking up information because I'm trying to help his family and I've different lawyers trying to get information but nobody ever answer or call me back, came across Samuel and he gave me all the answers that I was looking for even without a dime. So if you're looking for a professional and willing to help or answer any question maybe you will have to pay but I recommend that you will call him he will help you. Shalom! God bless you Samuel!

In all, Saja is a very competent, lawful, respected, and diligent attorney.

Kristina has been an absolute lifesaver in our immigration journey, particularly in securing our fiancé visa. Her dedication and warmth made all the difference. Right from the start, Kristina displayed a deep understanding of immigration intricacies and patiently guided us through each step, making an otherwise intimidating process feel manageable. What truly sets Kristina apart is her caring and practical approach. She not only promptly addressed our questions and concerns but went the extra mile to ensure all our paperwork was meticulously reviewed and prepared. Her unwavering support and diligence was the reason we got our fiancé visa approval so easily, and we couldn't be more thankful for her role in this life-changing event.

He has always been on the top of the things. His work ethics and professionalism are outstanding and made me very comfortable in dealing with him. He was very approachable and despite his busy schedule, he was prompt in his email correspondence. He has excellent knowledge and he answered any questions promptly that arise during the process. He made sure that he was there with me every step of the way during the process. He is very diligent in his work, dedicated and personable, which sets him apart in his field. It was a great pleasure knowing and getting benefited from the expertise of such a great professional and above all a very humble human being.

I know Mr. Sherman and his team for more than 10 years now. I have to confess that my immigration case was one of the most difficult and sophisticated cases that may happen for any attorneys. I worked with other attorneys too before and during the last 10 years and by far Mike is the best. His knowledge, professional attitude and kindness are exemplary. Honestly I am always overwhelmed with his passion and kindness to go over and beyond his line of duties for my case which started 10 years ago and now finally all my family and I succeeded to be US citizens, only because of him and his dedication. I have no hesitation recommending this strong, passionate, knowledgeable lawyer and his solid team as your best friend along your way for any immigration legal cases you may have. And I believe he is the best bet for you in these difficult and stressful situations.

We found Mr. Mike Lee from a referral on Nevada State Bar's website. Mr. Lee responded to our questions promptly and agreed to meet us in person despite COVID concerns. During our consultation, we felt that Mr. Lee was professional and very well versed in his area of expertise. He addressed every single question we had to our fullest satisfaction. After the consultation, it took him no longer than a day to turn around the deliverable. We also felt that his rates are fair and reasonable and would definitely consult him in the future should we require legal representation. He is certainly the best lawyer we've had the fortune to work with.

I waited a few days to write this review because I was still processing how my life has changed for the better in a matter of months. I called Mr. Szabo about one year ago. After speaking to him I decided to hold off filing my bankruptcy. I wanted for about two months before I called again and I now cannot believe I was waiting. I was the only one who was in the way of getting rid of my debt. Mr. Szabo was very nice. He did not rush me. The price I got is better than I was quoted anywhere else. But more important for me, Mr. Szabo or his assistant were always available to speak with me and calm me down when it was needed. Last week I got a call from Mr. Szabo telling me that my debt has been discharge. I can now get on with my life and not have to worry about debts that were hanging over my head. No doubt that I recommend this firm to all.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
